“Gotta come try Black Heath's mead! Made from locally-sourced, sustainable honey via Virginia beekeepers. Come sip some and enjoy the good vibes and eclectic music playing in the background. Right in Scott's Addition. Bill is a mead magician. And also super friendly and hospitable. He makes a wide range of delicious nectar and offers a mead for everyone. Session, dry and/or sweet. All packed full of flavor. The slushies are the perfect refreshing, juicy, flavorful drink to cool you down this summer. So if in Richmond , Va., highly recommend you check them out. Make sure to pick up a bottle (or a few) to go! Gotta support this local OG. 🥂”

“On the hunt for good mead in the Richmond area... and this is it! We chose to come in on a Thursday that ended up being $10 flight day, and ended up sampling the Red Razz, Hands & Feet, End of the Wait Maple, and Anything Goes - Plum. All were fantastic! The maple mead was a bit on the sweeter side, but it was perfectly balanced out with the refreshing lightness of the Hands & Feet mead. Would definitely recommend and definitely stopping back in!”

“10/10 spot. Best Meade in town hands down. There isnt another meadery or even winery in the richmond area that holds a candle to the diversity of style and flavor. ALSO Jordan is top notch bar tender. Dude cares about his job and is knowledgeable of the product and the brew. Super cool guy. Super cool spot. Cool drinks. Love this place The bartender can make a good spot terrible. But here he makes a good spot phenomenal.”

“Great mead and friendly service! Tasted a flight, loved the apricot seltzer, berry goode very good as well. Ginger was good, very gingery, as was ginger ale. Mangosteen was fantastic, perfect balance of sweet and spicy, maybe not for everyone. Lots of very unique options, almost all are must-tries if you're into mead, definitely worth a stop if you're in the area!”

“Excellent mead, very nice people, I would highly recommend. I have stopped here for a flight often when dinning in the area, usually leaving with a bottle or two. Never disappointed, they add new meads to the menu so often every time you visit its like the first time over again. They make small batches of the best quality mead I have had.”
